What do Chiropractors Do?
As chiropractors, our goal is to help strengthen your body, so you can overcome the pain and continue to live and enjoy life on your terms.
“While other professions are concerned with changing the environment to suit the weakened body, chiropractic is concerned with strengthening the body to suit the environment.” BJ Palmer
Your chiropractor will first diagnose your problem through a series of comprehensive tests. These tests look closely at how your spinal alignment and nervous system is functioning, and how that might be contributing to your current concerns. If your spinal alignment is contributing to your problem, your chiropractor will perform highly specific adjustments to the joints of your spine and body. Over time, these adjustments restore correct spinal alignment and nervous system function. These adjustments are often performed by hand. Depending on the person, some adjustments may use instruments such as a tool called the activator.
Contrary to popular belief, chiropractic care tends to be gentle.
Our patients frequently comment on how surprised they were at how comfortable their experience was.
Chiropractic care is one of the safest drug-free forms of neuromusculoskeletal treatments in existence.
Immediate relief from pain is common for our patients during their first few visits. However, if we were to stop care upon seeing immediate improvements in symptoms, then the chance of recurring conditions increase. Prevention is key. By helping to correct your spinal alignment, your body is less likely to encounter problems in the future, as it is more stable and resilient.
This is how chiropractic care differs from western medicine which typically focuses on treating the symptoms of a condition, providing only temporary relief. We focus on finding and correcting the cause of your symptoms.
Our experienced chiropractors will be alongside you every step of the way to learn about your story, your history and help you alleviate your problems through a safe and comfortable experience by focusing on long term corrective care.
Along the way, our chiropractors will equip you with the knowledge and tools to be able to create habits that strengthen your new and improved body.
